Curious if anyone followed on PPDI yesterday. If so, I am sure you did better than I, as I ended up with 3k @ 19.08. What I thought was the floor fell out for a little while. I noticed the big drop looking at a list of stocks that would need a miracle to get into my 3.5% yield range. You never know. Yield on my cost is 3.14%, under my range, but looking at their numbers I may attempt to hold a few shares for free, given the chance. Total Cash (mrq): 557.59M Total Cash Per Share (mrq): 4.729 Total Debt (mrq): 0 Levered Free Cash Flow (ttm): 227.91M Payout Ratio: 29% Just raised their dividend 20% on May 26th. 11-Jun-09 $ 0.15 Dividend 11-Mar-09 $ 0.125 Dividend 11-Dec-08 $ 0.125 Dividend 11-Sep-08 $ 0.10 Dividend 10-Jun-08 $ 0.10 Dividend 12-Mar-08 $ 0.10 Dividend 12-Dec-07 $ 0.10 Dividend 12-Sep-07 $ 0.03 Dividend 12-Jun-07 $ 0.03 Dividend 12-Mar-07 $ 0.03 Dividend 12-Dec-06 $ 0.03 Dividend 12-Sep-06 $ 0.025 Dividend 12-Jun-06 $ 0.025 Dividend 9-Mar-06 $ 0.025 Dividend 1-Mar-06 2 : 1 Stock Split 13-Oct-05 $ 0.525 Dividend Rolling the dice, at 19.75 I could hold 100 free 20.45 I could hold 200 free 21.21 I could hold 300 free Dream on!
